Her body was taken back from Des Moines to Sac City, where the funeral is conducted today. There have gone up from here for the funeral her father, Norman Confare, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Dawson, Geo. A. Klove and Mr. and Mrs. U. S. Alderman, E. J. Klove of Ames was also to join the party there.

Mrs. Klove was formerly Blanche Confare. She was born in Milford township of this county September 1, 1880, and died as stated August 27, 1913, lacking five days of being 33 years of age. She grew up in Nevada and was married here to Henry Klove February 8, 1899. Mr. and Mrs. Klove continued to reside here for several years but have for some time been living at Sac City. they had one child but lost it and their family has consisted generally of themselves and her younger sister, Eloise Confare, who has had her home regularly with them.

Mrs. Klove was a very attractive and estimable woman, and her death is a great loss to her husband and family and a shock to great numbers of friends.
